Serendipitous Rebel Podcast: Mom Entrepreneurs

Being a Mom and being an Entrepreneur – what does that look like?

What does that mean? And what choices do you have to make along the way, and why is that even relevant to entrepreneurship?
Before we dive in, we want to set the tone: This is a non-judgmental zone. The choices women make for their families and businesses are personal and very much unique.
It is our desire here to pull back the curtain to how we made the decision as mothers and entrepreneurs and how we got to where we are in our businesses and our business model.
For reference, Wendy is the mother of 16 year old twins, and Krystal is the mother of a 4 year old and a 9 year old at the time of this recording.

The online space can often be predatory to moms

We see it all the time – stay at home moms, or moms that want to stay at home asking for work from home opportunities. Because the balance struggle is real. And often women are at the forefront of having to figure out how to juggle all of the things.

But also too often, the MLM opportunities are the first to pop up and try to grab women. It is a tale as old as time and they go for the jugular. Promising the moon of freedom, flexibility, and a ludicrous income. The reality is often much further from that.

Low entry often means low pay. And when your commission split is 8% on a $15 product, you have to sell and hustle a lot of volume to make that happen.

So does that mean you shouldn’t try to work from home?

Not at all! We’ve written about this and talked about this before  – there are a ton of opportunities for moms to run their own businesses. There are a ton of opportunities for moms to start their own businesses where they can leverage their gifts and talents if they know how to systemize well and set up the foundations of their businesses the right way. And that’s what we help entrepreneurs do.

When it comes down to it, life is about making choices.

We’ve spoken in the past about balance as an entrepreneur. When it comes to balancing your business and your family, at the end of the day we are talking about competing priorities. Which one do you put first?
In order to make that decision you have to ask yourself, what are your “Be” Goals? Who is it that you want to be? And how is your business model in alignment with that goal?
Often conflicts arise when our “Be Goals” and what we are making a priority are out of alignment. In the end tough choices have to be made about time and ability in order to fulfill your “Be Goals”
In other words, you can have it all – just maybe not all at once.
